Description
The rate of reported child abuse fatalities has risen annually, with an estimated 1,400 child fatalities from abuse occurring in 2002 alone; even so, recent studies estimate that 50-60 percent of deaths from child abuse are not recorded (National Clearinghouse on Child Abuse and Neglect Information [NCCANI], 2004). Whiplash and other symptoms of shaken baby syndrome (SBS) were reported as the cause of death in 17 percent of fatal child abuse cases (Irazuzta, McJunken, Danadian, Arnold, & Zhang, 1997). Statistics indicate that many victims of such abuse are children of teenage parents. Parenting classes could lessen the prevalence of the problem, but such classes are under-utilized in this era of high-stakes testing. In particular, school curricula in special education do not adequately prepare students with special needs, particularly those with the most violent behaviors, for their most demanding job--parenting. Profiles of typical abuse perpetrators match the characteristics of many students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) and place them at higher risk of acting impulsively and using violent and abusive behaviors (Kaplan, Posey, & Cornell, 2003; NCCANI, 2004); also, aggressive at-risk young men are more likely than other men to use harmful parenting strategies with their children (Capaldi & Clark, 1998). Newspapers continue to report child fatalities from SBS and other abuses by teenagers with EBD (Darby, 2000; Robles, 1998).
